I bought this water chiller for my setup this fall and never attached it. It is a "EVER-COLD" water fountain chiller. I figured I would research the parts diagram to see if it had a steel liner in the chamber that cools the water. If it was steel I was just going to run a powerhead through it with freshwater and tubing for the osmosis effect of cooling the water. I never got farther than hooking it up to a 5 gallon bucket of water, adding a heater to 90 degrees and see the max cooling and minimum cooling temps. What I figured out was the unit cools to the low 40's and up to the low 70's so If it was not ok for saltwater I would do a coil of flex tubing through my sump. If it was ok I would connect a timer to limit the time it cools the water. If you want to continue my idea... Evercold # WIC302S Chiller System. In my opinion it's not bad for $150.
